About this course
Component architecture, state management and server-side rendering with Next.js.
This is an 8-week specialist track - our most in-depth program, taking you to a professional, hireable standard. It runs online in the August 2026 cohort (starting 1 August 2026) and is taught the EchoLens way: you learn by doing real, gradeable work rather than just watching lectures.
What's included
- Live, instructor-led online sessions across 8 weeks (32 hours total).
- Hands-on coding quests you solve inside the EchoLens browser compiler - nothing to install.
- Gems, stages and a leaderboard that keep you moving instead of grade anxiety.
- A verified certificate with a scannable QR code, ready to share on LinkedIn, when you finish.
- The first week is open free so you can try the course before you pay.
